I never expected to read these words in that order. Well done.

Quick reminder: you SPCA will tell you that a cat living 100% indoors will ensure Kitty and the surrounding bird population are happier for many years longer.
"He rarely goes out" is the worst setting.
Your car isn't somehow special either.
It used to be double. DOUBLE! now it's even worse.
There are no birds on mars
Damn cats got em all
Doorknob… Parakeet… Spatula…!
Sorry. Couldn’t find the right words to respond to this, so… 🫣
So le random!
Holds up spork
instead of responding to the message - cats live longer indoors - you responded with garbage. indicating the value of your premise.
Huzzah, I found the correct words to respond to this. Have a nice day.

On Mars you wouldn't be able to have cabinets tall enough so that your cat can't jump on them
The cabinet could be 20 feet tall and they'd still figure out how to get up there.
My parents have 4 cats and these ones are a lot different than all of the other cats we've had over the decades. My parents have a wall mounted cabinet where the bottom portion is about 5 feet off the ground and the top of it is about 8 feet off the ground. There's about 6-9" between the top and the ceiling, and various decorations up there.. The kitchen table is about a foot in front of it, at normal height, about 3-4 feet from the ground.
One day I noticed one of the cats was on top of the cabinet! That's a good 6 foot jump at a steep angle (100°, 110°? I suck at Trig) and she didn't move a single decoration!
An 8 foot leap is no big deal.
Vertically it is. That's about 6-8x their body length.
Horizontally it's nothing special.
I wonder what the maximum size is of a celestial body which a cat could jump with escape velocity
I got bored and was curious myself.
Assuming a cat can jump just over 2m (record is around 7' apparently) then you have a launch velocity of around 6.5m/s. Plugging this in as an escape velocity works out to around a 1-2km diameter asteroid. Not huge, but not bad for a small animal.
My error bars are quite large, so it's only an order of magnitude calculation.
Yeah thats not bad, assuming the asteroid is a perfect sphere, that comes out to a surface area of 12km^2^ for an interstellar cat colony that can move into orbit at will.

Confirmed
cats don't like doors
Holy shit, is this the reason of "can't decide if want to be here or there, so I must scream", not the wish to be on the other side but the very door itself?
I believe so. Cats' brains seem to be unable to deal with closed doors, in my experience. If you add a passage, like a cat's door to the door, then it's fine.
This explains so much. If you see it from this perspective it makes perfect sense

Well spotted. 😅
This is why my cat lives safely indoors.
Because you're on Mars? Exciting! How is it?
Honestly like a 4/10. Would be better without the Martians and mutants running amok.
If you moved to Mars and are upset because of the Martians there, then you're the problem.
You know those equatorial martians aren’t sending their best, right?

At least the gate to hell is closed.
The damned cat keeps scratching at the seal, though.
Have you tried introducing them to your cat?
